The film begins with a father and worker (Cagney) working at an armaments factory, until he finally gets off and goes home. When he is at home, he is interrupted from listening to his daughter's recitation of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to go out for the Civil Defense on an air-raid patrol. When he is out at his post he feels a little silly being there, as no air raids have hit America, though they have hit America's allies.

The film opens with shots of the London streets in late afternoon, as people begin their commute home. The narrator reminds the audience that these people are part of the greatest civilian army the world has ever known, and are going to join their respective service before London's "nightly visitor" arrives. Listening posts are stationed as far away as the coastline and the "white fingers" of searchlights touch the sky.

Le film apporte des témoignages de cinq soldats à propos du Massacre de Mỹ Lai intervenu en mars 1968 lors de la guerre du Viet Nam, et ayant fait plus de 500 victimes dont beaucoup de femmes, enfants et vieillards. Sur les 110 soldats qui ont participé au massacre, sept ayant démissionné de l'armée acceptent de témoigner, mais deux mentent en affirmant n'y avoir pas participé, et leur témoignage n'est finalement pas retenu. Sur les cinq autres, trois essayent de se justifier.

De nombreux films ont pris cette guerre pour sujet. Moins connus, il existe d'admirables documentaires qui, mieux que les longs-métrages de fiction, témoignent de l'exceptionnelle cruauté d'un affrontement qui causa la mort de 58 000 Américains, de plus de 3 millions de Vietnamiens. Emile de Antonio a réalisé au début de la guerre du Vietnam, le réalisateur s'est infiltré méthodiquement dans le tumulte des événements. Il a été le premier à tenter d'expliquer les raisons profondes de la guerre. Avec des méthodes d'archéologue.
